Perez hit with five-second penalty for Albon clash in F1 Singapore GP
During the race, Perez attempted to overtake the Williams driver, Albon, at Turn 13 but made contact with him, causing Albon to lock up his brakes and avoid a collision with the wall. Both drivers were summoned by the race stewards, who determined that Perez’s move was aggressive and that Albon couldn’t have done anything to avoid the collision. Perez received a five-second penalty and a point added to his superlicence. However, he retained eighth place as his closest competitor, Liam Lawson, finished further behind. Albon believed that they could have scored points without the incident. The stewards also noted that Lawson’s presence influenced Perez’s decision to make the overtake. Additionally, Albon was cleared of overtaking Perez under virtual safety car conditions due to inconclusive evidence.
